Welcome to the Knights Castle Sir Ronald.

You have a good collection I see including some aussie coins, let us know if you would like to expand this area.

Welcome
As a Belgian I am not shure what a MS Ch.E is ( I know bachelors and masters )
Anything to do with chemistry ?
I got a Univ Chemistry Engineering degree and an MBA investment and organisational psychology

Hello and Welcome

[Muckeye]

G'day from 'down under', nice to see you have a few Aussie coins in your collection.
I believe it's an area that you should be encouraged to expand, plenty of help available.
Watch out for Old Dan, he can get a bit testy if you get too close to his Ladies.
Enjoy yourself.
regards,

[ronaldb112]

Thanks
I figured so but with all those abreviations

Welcome aboard, we shall duly endeavour to have diversified your collecting pursuits all the further.  I could admit that I collect practically anything that catches my eye, it would be rather difficult to classify any such sectors of my collecting.

Paint your wagon:

Yes, I was in a hotel room tying last night down in Rural Indiana & took some shortcuts.

Hey.....Belgian, I used to get to Belgium a lot about 15 yaers ago, Brussels& Leige, very nice area. Loved the Grand Plaza.

We used to go to a small restaurant near Leige, where the appetizerwas small snails in the shell, & you took them out with a small pin in the waiting area.

Have a great day,
Ron

Yes a lot of restaurants give those with the aperitifs ( pre dinner drinks ) They are little seasnail . Their bigger brothers are sold in Brussels at stalls in a kind of celery soup you drink after eating the seasnails ( a kind of snack ) in France they give them cold in mixed seafood offers
My favourite is however the garden snail (escargot de bourgogne ) in garlic and parsley which is served as an hors d'oevre at many restaurants

I have been to the US dozens of time
My favourate was a lobster dinner at Robato of Japan ( St Louis ) And Alaska king crab at Union Station and of course those huge breakfasts at the Ritz Carlton
Happy memories
